Games that should have included an apology in the credits

[snowfi6916]

So, I just finished FF13 last night, mainly because I just wanted to say I beat it. And I thought the credits would have been a good spot for Square Enix to apologize for having the game be so damn linear.

So my question is: Is there a game out there that you thought needed an apology from the developers?

 

[Vakz]

Honestly, if you made it 'till the credits, I'd say it was good enough to not require an apology. I can think of a lot of games that could need an apology in the opening sequence, however..

Duke Nukem Forever. In fact, the credits for that needed an option to punch the developers in the face and vaporize the disc simultaneously

Dragon Age 2. It could've been SO MUCH BETTER, yet they released so early. I wouldn't have minded if they took an extra year just so they make the environments not so repetitive.

Kingdom Hearts 2: "Sorry guys, we thought we were making a movie until halfway in. Hope the quick-time events made you feel like you actually had a say in how the battles were fought (even though you didn't)."

 

[Frost27]

Homefront. Specifically, it's multiplayer. There is no way the developers, play testers, and publishers could have looked at that final product and thought it had any place in this decade graphically.

Sonic 06.

Sure, the ending retcons the game out of existence, but I still wasted a good portion of my life on this shitty, broken, unfinished, glitchy game!

that one game you really like, its horrible, the dev team should have apologized for it and killed themselves afterwards, it was truly horrible and you should feel bad for buying and liking it, in fact, the game was so bad I think it might have had something to do with the JFK assassination

Far Cry 2

"We're sorry but we didn't have time to finish this. We hope this poorly set up tech demo was at least somewhat enjoyable."

 

[claymoreguy18]

The darkness. "Sorry the gameplay is so shitty heres a few more cut scenes of jackie in a dark room talking to nobody." How much I hate this game unquantifiable.

 

[twistedmic]

Homefront (Single Player) and Vampire Rain should have both included an apology at the start of every single mission or section. Both of those games sucked horribly and every person involved with the production and distribution should be deeply ashamed of themselves.

Fable 3

Hey, sorry the final boss was a lazy rehash of an earlier mini-boss.

Blizzard in WoW

"Sorry lads. Soul = ours"

Dragon Age 2. It could've been SO MUCH BETTER, yet they released so early. I wouldn't have minded if they took an extra year just so they make the environments not so repetitive.

Might as well go for dragon age 1 as well. Sorry, guys, but having to restart because they designed the game in an ultra mega-manesque fashion is not acceptable...for those who don't know what that means, it means that there is a right order and a wrong order to play your "levels" through. I chose the wrong order and had to restart because the ambush outside "whatever town" takes my party in less than a minute. Speaking of ambush, they should also apologize for the worst AI in history. When you set your entire party to wait here and attack only when attacked, that does not mean follow you into battle, pick the weakest opponent you can find, and ignore the magic users who are tearing you up. After a third restart failed I put the game down and haven't looked at it since.

MASS EFFECT 2!! Grahhhh. Sorry that we took everything that was kinda fun (didn't like the first to much) and just make the series by far worse then improve.

Wow its like gears of war with a few spells and slight armor stats to show you the illusion of depth.

If your a caster you use mainly 2 spells (almost like your just using different guns to cater to weaknesses) Or if your a solider you aim and shoot and switch accordingly see above.

AWFUL GAME. At least its extremely short for an RPG.... wait can i call it that? No not really. It was decent legnth for a action shooter.

 

[Kryzantine]

KOTOR 2, an apology for quite literally not finishing the game.

I'd have accepted it, though, just as I accept it now. What I don't understand is why the bloody hell LucasArts didn't want to patch the game with the actual game the developers wanted. Obsidian was fucked over so badly from that one.

-snip-

Not to sound like a dickhead or anything, but I've passed the game at least 6 times, and every single one of them I did it in a different order, and I never encountered an ambush that I couldn't handle. Not in the first try, of course. I think I was playing on Normal, Hard was a little too infuriating for me.

About the AI, yeah, it kinda sucked. The Tactics Menu was limiting IMO.

But, to give an apology for that? Come on, the game was solid and it wasn't unfinished like DA2. Maybe a gentle smack in the back of the head for making Alistair not heal himself like he should have.

 

[Harlemura]

Mortal Kombat.
This probably applies to earlier games but I never played 'em, so I'm just referring to MK9.

"Sorry about Shao Kahn. It was an overpowered mess of a joke that we were meant to take out, but forgot."
At least I can only assume that mess of a boss was a joke. There's no way he could be that strong on purpose.

[sub]I'm aware he's kinda easy once you know how to beat him, but it doesn't make the 70 bazillion losses necessary to find out how to beat him any less frustrating.[/sub]

EDIT:
Okay, I've been told several times that this doesn't count because he's been hard forever.
I'd change it to some other fighting game boss, but I'll probably be told that I'm just doing it wrong or whatever for those too.

 

[Professor Cubbage]

Dragon Age 2 but then Bioware did then give me ME2 for free so I guess that counts.
